Can Timothy Mcveigh Get A Fair Trial?

QUICK RESPONSE

May 23, 1997

I think so. I still have faith in our justice system and in all the work that's been done on the case. Also, because of the high-profile nature of this trial, I'm sure the prosecutors will make doubly sure to do everything right. Jack P. Majeske, 61

Absolutely. I think he is getting more than a fair trial. The government and all of its attorneys are sticking to the letter of the law. They won't be saying things like "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."And it's all very public, even though not being televised.

Sure, I think he can. I don't think a lot of people will want to put him in jail if he didn't do it. [The jury's) going to go in and say, "Let's see what the evidence shows?" and then make their decision. In my opinion, the evidence so far is tying him to it very well.
